ADNI data is made available to researchers around the world. As such, there are many active research projects accessing and applying the shared ADNI data. To further encourage Alzheimer’s disease research collaboration, and to help prevent duplicate efforts, the list below shows the specific research focus of the active ADNI investigations. This information is requested annually as a requirement for data access.
| Principal Investigator | |
| Principal Investigator's Name: | Hervé Abdi |
| Institution: | The University of Texas at Dallas |
| Department: | School of Behavioral and Brain Sciences |
| Country: | |
| Proposed Analysis: | I plan to test new methods akin to partial least squares but adapted to integrate qualitative data (such as SNPs) to the problem of exploring the association toward voxelwise structure or activity and Genome. Specifically I would like to use the data described in Shen et al. (2010). Whole genome association study of brain-wide imaging phenotypes for identifying quantitative trait loci in MCI and AD: A study of the ADNI cohort. NeuroImage, 53, 1051-1063. |
| Additional Investigators | |
| Investigator's Name: | Derek Beaton |
| Proposed Analysis: | I plan to work on the same project as Dr. Abdi ans so I plan to test new methods akin to partial least squares but adapted to integrate qualitative data (such as SNPs) to the problem of exploring the association toward voxelwise structure or activity and Genome. |
| Investigator's Name: | Michael Kriegsman |
| Proposed Analysis: | Michael Kriegsman is a Ph.D. student in my lab. He plans to use DTI measurements collected in the ADNI2 phase to evaluate the predictive power of different types of connectivity indices (e.g., FA, MD, Mode, etc.). |
